[OOC: Letters to Ahsoka, Freya and Yang, written by Li before her death, and delivered by Ahsoka after the plot.]
Ahsoka, my dearest,
If you are reading this, then I am gone and I know you must be hurting. I don't know how this will end, but I want you to know that I love you, and my time with you was the happiest in my life. You gave me happiness and joy, and I will always treasure that. You are a strong, kind and compassionate woman, and I do not want my loss to destroy that about you. It will be hard, but you can survive. I want you to find happiness again when the opportunity presents itself. Do not shut yourself down forever, and remember you have people who care about you. Lean on them when the mourning is too much for you.
If I am dead, take your time to mourn me, but know that I would rather be dead than be a slave to Diablo or insane for the rest of my life. Being dead would be a release from the torment that has been building inside of me. I suppose this letter also serves as a last will and testament as well, even if I am still alive as you read it. You can do whatever you wish with my belongings. If you ever wish to get rid of my violins, I would prefer they be given to someone who plays, or donated to a music program in need of them. On my computer, there are files of all my music, some of them are incomplete compositions, but many of them are. I'd like you to give copies of the files to our friends. Also make sure Freya gets copies as well.
I wish that I could be there with you still, that we could've lived our lives together, but my dream world is not a kind one. A long and happy life was not in the cards for me. But you gave my life meaning beyond music, and beyond being a fighter. You helped me be just a normal girl when I was anything but. Keep me with you, but do not let yourself cling to my memory so much that you forget to live. One day, it will be easier for you, and if I am dead, I will watch over you. Be well, my love.
I love you.
Li
Freya,
Thank you for helping me, and trying to avoid a catastrophe from happening. If you are reading this, then I am gone, and I can only hope that I did not destroy Orange County. However my story ended, I hope that I was able to do it on my terms. If I was, then it was your help that allowed me that. I do not know what would come for me first, insanity or Diablo, but if it is insanity, then you helped to delay it. My dream world was not a kind one, and a happy ending was never in the cards for me. Evil corrupts absolutely, and those of us who fight it in my dreams never live long and happy lives. But I had a good life here. I had happiness and friends and I was more than just the Nephalem who saved the world and kept the High Heavens from being destroyed. I was a normal girl who loved to play the violin in between bouts of Orange County weirdness.
I didn't know you as well as I wish I did, but you have a good heart. I don't think there was more to be done to help avoid whatever fate has befallen me. My fate may have been unwritten in my dream world, but evil's corruption is not something that anyone survives unscathed in my world. The best outcome would've been death before anything terrible happened to me. If I died while still being me, then that is a success, and know that I would rather have that ending than to be insane or a demon. I do not know what the afterlife holds, but I hope that there is peace, and that I can rest.
I wish you well in life, Freya. You helped me delay the inevitable, gave me some more time in this life, and that is all that I could have asked for.
Thank you for your help.
Li
Yang,
My first roommate when I arrived here. I know it was probably an awkward time having this Chinese girl who knew next to nothing of pop culture or anything about America, but we came a long way, didn't we? It wasn't always easy between the dreams and the weirdness that happens in Orange County. Thank you for putting up with my violin practice, and for tolerating Ahsoka and I when she moved in. I do not know how this will turn out, but I wished to write this before I lost my mind or became a demon or whatever terrible fate will come for me. All I can hope for is that I was still myself, and that death would be preferable to being insane or turning into a demon. So if I am dead, I am at least at peace. Take solace in that, and know that I'll still be watching over you.
It will be hard not having me around, but hold onto the memories. We had some good ones, didn't we? I wish that I could still be there, but my dreams were not kind. Evil's corruption is absolute, and none who fight against evil live long, happy lives. But I was happy here, and I am glad to have known you and been part of your life. Remember the good times, and even the bad ones at times, for it will help keep me close. Keep my memory alive. And I know it'll be hard, but keep an eye on Ahsoka for me? I worry that she won't come back from this and I don't want this to break her. I also don't want it to break you. Remember you have people who care about you that you can lean on when the mourning is too much for you. One day, it will be better.
Take care of yourself, Yang. I will be watching over you.
Li
